Abstract

An amphiphilic platinum(II)-containing diblock copolymer, with pH- and solvent-responsive micellization properties that could induce drastic UV-vis and emission spectral changes via modulation of Pt...Pt and pi-pi stacking interactions, has been demonstrated in both aqueous and organic media.
